I have a Jewl Rekord 96 tank. It holds (surprisingly) 96 litres! (about 26 US gallons)
Because Air pumps are not included with Jewl tanks, I have an Airtech=2K1UK Air Pump with a medium bubble spray.

For enlarged pictures Click the link below the description of the picture, wait for it to load right click and save image as, Putfile makes them too small here then too big on there website! Windows Picture and fax viewer sorts it out for you. (once saved right click and say prievew) Note: the pics here are only thumbnails.

Inside the tank I have 1 male Siamese Fighting Fish (betta splendens)
He is proof to anyone that says bettas are 'boring' and 'inactive' are wrong. If bettas are given the right conditions they will be the star of the show, and this betta is the star. He is always swimming and parades up and down his tank, It is hard to get a photo that has not got him on!

In the tank there are also five neon Tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) In my tank they are seccond to the food, the greedy betta, or 'his majesty' as he prefers to be called, normally gets all the food first, and his belly is starting to show.

Neons checking out the camera, behind a very inquisitive yamato shrimp.

A very shy Female Siamese Fighting Fish, that also likes the right side of the tank. She gets in trouble off His Majesty sometimes, for getting under his feet, her green colour is an advantage because she goes and hides in a plant next to him. She is'nt Her majesty, His Majesty wouldn't allow that, shes more of the pesant girl that works for him.

Female betta spots the camera and tries to hide, as tetras glide past unalarmed.

Three Yamato shrimps. One was full of eggs for a long time- one morning i saw her and the eggs were gone.. Who took them? Photos of them coming soon.

Three Polka Dot Loaches (botia angelicus) Come out mainly at night or at feeding time, like lying down in a cave which two clown loaches dug out before them. (The Clowns were one of the many victims of the Whitespot (Ich) Pandemic that swept through the tank killing eleven inhabitants, only the male betta survived.)
Pictures coming soon

Videos coming soon, and more pictures shrimps, tetras, female betta, and polkadot loaches.
